History

Zanin Lindsay is a multi-racial filmmaker born and raised in the Bronx. With his unique cultural and socio-economic background he strives to use his talents in cinematography and directing to create content that will inspire his community in the Bronx and beyond. During his youth, movies became both an escape from his situation and a link to the outside world. However as Zanin grew, he began to realize that the films he enjoyed did not represent people that looked like him or the community he is a part of. This crisis of identity became the seed of inspiration for him after briefly serving in the Marines. He discovered his passion for filmmaking and desire to create stories that do away with the stereotypes, tropes and labels he saw growing up. In the fall of 2013, Zanin enrolled at Bronx Community College where he earned his Associates in Media and Digital Film Production. In his senior year, Zanin was awarded the first ever Sol Negrin Memorial Award, sponsored by the IATSE Local 600 International Cinematographers Guild, for his work as a filmmaker and student leader. His thesis film, Antithesis, won First Place at the 25th Annual Bronx Community College Film and Video Festival, and was awarded the Chairsperson's Award and the Peter J. Rondinone Memorial Award.
